the daily life thread

Funny I've heard the tall black and handsome thing, although mainly for people in the black community. Where I am it's the opposite, the white guys get all the attention.

I'm kinda double whammy because (while ultimately don't factor race into what is to be desired in a Godly relationship) I'm extremely attracted to white or light skinned women, but you don't find many who are attracted to black guys, unless they're very ghetto or are obese, which I am not attracted to either.

No hate or bigotry towards them just the lifestyles won't match.

The dating world can seem cruel because its based on people's personal preferences so it discriminates.

Peaceful quiet day. Woke up later than usual but not so late as to really slow me down. Got groceries came back to my place. Saw parents at their place for dinner . Some people seem to be obsessed with controlling me…I get taunted about conservatorship guardians etc., but it’s just…me leading a quiet normal life with the support I need. I dunno

Somebody has been sharing old psych records with people so that’s…fun…but God is Good. My life continues on quiet and surprisingly pleasant and…

I really wish I could do more each day but it gets frustrating. Tried volunteering at a non profit and..no not trying there again.

I’ve got an appointment to see about a psychiatrist soon. I just don’t want to continue at the local community mental health clinic. I tried telehealth but then they discharged me because they said they didn’t have prescribers in my state? Weird…

Hoping for a way forward to being more productive…

But I’m also increasingly content…

So I've signed up for Obamacare because I'm low income and I have multiple physical and mental health needs, and on top of those, I now have eye problems that need immediate and frequent attention. I'm going to develop glaucoma without treatment, it's a matter of when, not if.

Wow is disability an option? I mean…generally it’s a last resort but it sounds like your disability is already affecting your job and with serious health problems in the horizon..???

I had been in the process for disability, but living on zero income was simply impossible and I signed up to get a job again. Ended up with what I have now, which seems a decent option for what's available in my area and working with my disability. At least it's not retail like my last job.

I do hope you can get the health coverage you need. And honestly?! I am thankful for disability but it really is a last resort. Even with adequate support etc, the stigma of being on disability…he gets a check etc..can be extremely difficult to deal with. Some places wouldn’t take my debt card at times an upstairs neighbor periodically threatens to take me off disability etc. and so…

Sorry about your situation and I hope it gets better.
